A few days ago a new Samsung SSD was registered in the RRA, this registration confirmed a new storage unit that did not reveal the name, but the model. Although it could be assumed that it would correspond to the new SSD Samsung 990 Pro, registration in the PCI-SIG has verified that it is this new SSD at the same time that confirm that the specifications are suitable for work with PCI Express 5.0.
This new unit SSD Samsung 990 Pro It will be the high end of this new generation of faster and more secure storage. According to theoretical specifications, PCI Express 5.0 SSDs can reach 14,000 MB/s, Samsung has already released PCIe 5.0 SSDs for business with 13,000MB/s speedsso we can expect a similar speed in this unit than uses all 4 PCIe 5.0 lanes available for storage.
Since the Intel Alder Lake released this new faster bus not many units seen (to say none) PCIe 5.0 SSD for home use. With the arrival of the next Intel Raptor Lake and the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series who will use this new bus, we hope that soon more SSD drives appear that can take advantage of this new PCIe 5.0, for example, match the speed of PCIe 4.0 with half the lanes or double the speed of PCIe 4.0 for more demanding configurations.
With the launch of the new AMD that will debut M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSD storage and with the new Intel Meteor Lake, M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSDs will start to gain ground to the current PCIe 4.0 that dominate the high-end market in desktop PCs and laptops.

My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write in Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the more than 20 consoles I have, in addition to the PC.
